As he looked up, he watched as 8 different ethereal tentacles ca out of my back while still being mid-air. By the ti I had finally landed, the sharp-ended tentacles pierced through the air and shot towards the man with the speed of bullets making it so he could barely defend against them.

While the man might have been strong enough to be able to take a few attacks from , the tentacles were a whole other level. It was like fighting 8 different opponents that had perfect synchronization. Every attack was aningful and precise, forcing him to take a few steps back after every single clash. He was intelligent enough however to not allow them to surround him, because the mont he did that, he would literally beco a human swiss cheese.
The man kept defending attack after attack while constantly taking steps back. Sweat dripped down his face while his muscles started to ache from the vibrational force that entered his body after every single clash.
He was gritting his teeth so tightly that blood started to co out of his gums. His arms started to tremble while his teeth started to crack out of the sheer strength he put into gritting his teeth. However, none of this was obvious to him as all of his concentration was on defending his life.
On the other side was who was also using all my focus to attack. While on the outside I looked extrely confident while adding and sliding backward, I secret sweating buckets. What kind of person can split their mind into 8 different movents. It was like having 8 extra arms and trying to use them all efficiently without lowering the standards of your original two. Yes, I can split my mind 4 tis now, but that did not an I could imdiately control 8 tentacles, aning this whole ti my ntal strength was slowly dwindling.
With my remaining ntal strength, I slowly picked up the katana and pointed it towards the man in a thrusting position as it slowly enveloped itself in the golden mana, wind, fire, white light, and electricity.
[Light Magic Enchantnt Lightning Coated blade Scorching blade Wind Enhancent = Aspect Of The Roaring Skies (Uses: Once a day, lasts 5 minutes)]
"Sword of brilliant light" I muttered, making the blade shine even brighter.
[Flash step: 3/6 uses]
A few seconds before this, the golden tentacles ca together and spun like a drill with the montum and speed of all 8 tentacles combined. The speed in reality only doubled due to the spinning, but its lethality only increased.
Thinking this was probably a last-ditch effort from , the man jumped back and covered his blade with his battle aura, and when it swung it, an illusionary dragon appeared behind it with its maw wide open while letting out a roar. In reality, the roar was created when the sword pierced through the air.
'Dragon Blade technique: Roaring Slash'
He swung the blade upwards with all his power using the posture of a cricket player. The power behind the attack was truly terrifying as the dragon only grew closer to the golden drill. When they finally clashed, the shock wave sent winds towards all directions while sparks emitted from the center of the clash.
The winds were so ferocious that the few who under the Mid Gaseous who were spectating lost their footings while being blown away contrary to their belief of being far enough from the battle to not be affected.
Eventually, a few seconds later, the golden tentacles lost their spinning ability and at the sa ti, their strength to push back any longer, causing them to dissipate while a dragon made out of the man's aura flew towards .
A smirk grew on the lips of the exhausted man as he watched his ferocious dragon co towards the also 'exhausted' opponent, however, sothing he would have not imagined would happen in a thousand years occurred in front of his very eyes.
*whistle*
*BOOM!*
Like a streak of light, I appeared behind the man, and as if ti itself had frozen in shock, it took a few seconds for reality itself to realize what had happened.
A single second after appearing behind the man, the dragon that was once coming towards dissipated and just a second later, the entire left side of the man's torso disappeared with it, destroying his heart in the process.
Lightning crackled across my blade while the light around it disappeared slowly as I got up from my crouched position. Only then did the gust of wind from my attack reach as I slowly ran the back of my katana across the opening of the scabbard and put it in. I glanced back to see the without left torso who hadn't even had enough ti to fall yet and dashed forwards with my hand in a chop.
I walked calmly, step by step, and finally reached after what felt like an eternity to those who were watching.
*Slash*
Separating his head from the rest of his body, I swiftly put it into my storage ring and the remaining bodies before using flash step again and disappearing into thin air.

In the adventurer's registration area, I walked towards the board at the back of the bar. The bar was currently deathly quiet as it always would be when I would enter the place. My hands moved at lighting speed picking up all the wanted posters of the n and won I had taken care of today. After doing so, I walked towards the reception where the sa chestnut-haired woman laid her head on her palm lazily while looking into thin air.
Without saying another word, I slamd the wanted posters onto the counter before bringing out a bag filled with the heads of everyone who was on those posters.
The woman looked through all of it before opening the bag and scanning all the faces. She nodded slightly and placed the bag to the side before looking into my eyes and saying "all of them in total is worth 79 gold and 65 large silvers after the 5% commission fee and the other 20% going to your guild" she spoke within a lazy tone while pushing her hand forwards as if telling to give her sothing.
I placed the rcenary card that I had gotten from the discarded devil's back then on her hand, allowing her to put all the money in before giving it back to .
"Thank you for commissioning with us" Were the last words I heard before leaving the building and disappearing into the night.
